The Somerset at Grace Bay is a luxury condominium property located on Grace Bay on Turks & Caicos. Although they had an ocean between them, the sophisticated elite that settled in the sprawling penthouses of New York’s Upper East Side and the wealthy British Colonial travelers of yesteryear shared a common appreciation of elegance as they lived and traveled in style. Interestingly, The Somerset on Grace Bay – among Providenciales’ most upscale new beachfront developments – is the dual effort of a Manhattan- centered developer and a Turks & Caicos- based team. And in both concept and design, The Somerset reflects a unique blend of cosmopolitan elegance and a comfortable tropical lifestyle…literally the best of both worlds.

Features and Amenities

Well- spaced over a 4. 6 acre site, with nearly 300 feet of beachfront on Grace Bay, The Somerset places a premium on privacy and space. In fact, the 16 condominium units in the four oceanfront buildings are (properly) referred to as Estate Homes. With only one residence per floor, each spans 3, 500 to 4,600 square feet, with the top floor, two- story penthouses offering over 5, 200 square feet of magnificent living space.

Although primarily designed as a residential property, The Somerset will offer owners and guests all the amenities of resort living. The elegant, fountain- fronted reception area is also suitable for private parties and will include a concierge to address every need, such as excursion planning, dining reservations and babysitting. Plans also include an on- site gourmet restaurant, beachfront cabana bar and grill, world- class spa, fitness center . . . and even an English- style rose garden.

Weather

The Turks & Caicos Islands (TCI) enjoys year-round sunshine, low humidity as well as a prevailing easterly breeze provided by the Atlantic trade winds which keeps temperatures from becoming excessively hot. The most popular time to visit TCI is over the winter months when the sun continues to shine but the nights are cooler. Temperatures in summer (April to September) average 87°F (31°C) and in winter (October to March) 77° F (25°C). Rainfall averages 26 inches per year in the Turks and 40 inches in the Caicos Islands. Providenciales is especially temperate and comfortably dry year-round.
